Child Abuse Poem

My Name Is Sasha My Sister Is Leigh I am six And she is three Our dads always mad He screams and he yells I don’t think he likes us It's Easy to tell Mums only kind When dads not around And when he is home She hardly makes a sound Mums always out, Never home Dads always drunk, And always alone As soon as we hear Those jingly keys We run and hide We run and plea We find a place And curl up tight I hold her hand And she holds mine And soon enough Dad then walks in Don’t make a sound, don’t say a word I pray inside, deep within But Leigh, she cannot help herself For the pain is just too much "O-God" she yells "Why are you so mean?" He doesn't like what she has said And beats her even more And with one last hit Hard and strong, he pulls away and watches She takes one last Gasp of air Our hands still holding Then falls to the ground where I sat And doesn't move a muscle I stare at him My eyes so blue He looks at me And yells "O you!" "How dare you Make me so mad This is all your fault Go cry be sad!" My name is Sasha My sister is Leigh I am six And my beautiful sister was only three That day my Daddy Murdered her My best friend She was my world We stuck together Through thick and thin But now she’s gone I’m lost within When I was six my sister three My Daddy murdered Leigh Since that day I have not spoke For it's speaking that made her die.
